yes... we are an also ran.

Watch out for Geelong.. as I mentioned in the thread re the Geelong stadium deal they are making serious money.

Adelaide does very well also.

I know its better to have it than not to have it if your trying to run a business, but with the salary cap and the soft salary cap does it really matter that much? Western Bulldogs won a flag with not much in the bank. If we can consistently play finals, the money will come.....

it matters.

Example... training facilities are not within the soft cap although some of the staffing of the training facility is.

WB got massive hand outs from the Federal and State governments to develop/upgrade Whitten Oval.

I trust in what Gary Pert is trying to do with all of that. I think we will see some big changes over the next 2 years....

Thank god for the salary cap.    Imagine being like soccer where the glamour teams can just buy all the best players.
